The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 297: 286 Boss Ying takes action, No.1 [2 updates]

“`

A single sentence, spoken in an even tone, made Xiu Yan feel like her scalp was about to explode.

Under Old Master Xiu’s gaze, she felt her limbs turn so cold they were numb.

“How long has it been since I brought you and your mother back to the Xiu family?” Old Master Xiu looked at her coldly, “Four years. Look at these past four years, is there anything about you that’s worth cultivating for the Xiu family?”

Xiu Yan didn’t speak, her head lowered.

“You wanted to enter the entertainment industry, and I allowed it. Playing around isn’t unacceptable,” Old Master Xiu eased up slightly, then continued, “Which other heiresses from wealthy families would enter the entertainment industry? They run their own entertainment companies.”

“It’s not just about you being in the entertainment industry, but look at what people online have been saying about you recently?”

Old Master Xiu suddenly gripped the handles of his wheelchair, his expression darkening: “You represent the Xiu family; this is tarnishing our name.”

“Grandpa, I’m sorry,” Xiu Yan quickly admitted her fault, “Those people are just blindly following trends to smear me; it’s how the entertainment industry works, but there are areas where I’ve been wrong, and I will change them.”

“I’m just warning you,” Old Master Xiu waved his hand, not wanting to talk more with her, “If you don’t have anything worthwhile for the Xiu family to cultivate, I have other options.”

Who the other options were, went without saying.

Xiu Yan left with a pale face.

When Madam Xiu saw her come down, she hurriedly pulled her aside: “What did your grandfather say to you?”

“Nothing much,” Xiu Yan replied indifferently, “You should play less mahjong in the future.”

Before Xiu Yu could think about returning, she would have to get past this hurdle.

She had no intention of letting Xiu Yu return.

**

Verdant Middle School.

After recuperating, Ying Zijin returned to Class 19.

“Daddy Ying, Daddy Ying!” The younger brother ran over excitedly, “Daddy Ying, guess how much I scored in biology? 82!”

Out of a full score of 90, indeed 82 was a high score.

Ying Zijin looked up, and didn’t skimp on her praise: “Not bad.”

The younger brother ran off happily to boast to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran kicked him away with a foot.

Xiu Yu lay on her desk, her vitality drained, appearing listlessly ill.

Ying Zijin took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to her: “Eat something sweet, it will improve your mood.”

Xiu Yu turned her head, accepted it, and unwrapped the candy to eat.

After a long, extended silence, Xiu Yu finally spoke, “Xiu Yan, she is my half-sister from the same father.”

Ying Zijin’s hand pausing on the bottle cap: “Half-sister?”

When she heard Teng Yunmeng mention that Xiu Yan was a young lady from the Xiu family, she started paying a bit more attention.

She hadn’t been keeping track, only knew that Xiu Yan belonged to the Xiu family.

“Yes, my mother was a socialite from a big wealthy family,” Xiu Yu nodded, “Not on the level of the Mu family or Nie family, but still second tier in the capital’s wealthy circles. As for Xiu Yan—”

She shrugged her shoulders, seeming indifferent: “Her mom climbed up the ranks as a mistress.”

Ying Zijin remained silent.

“Four years ago, my mom died of cancer, and my dad disappeared, his life or death unknown, and he still hasn’t been found,” Xiu Yu murmured, “They brought Xiu Yan back because her mom gave birth to a son, and my mom only had me.”

Ying Zijin was still silent.

Some families, indeed, still prefer sons to daughters.

“There’s some other complicated stuff, so I left the Xiu family,” Xiu Yu leaned back in her chair, looking at her hands, “I haven’t returned for four years, Daddy Ying, do you think I’m weak?”

“Not at all,” Ying Zijin replied, her gaze lowered and a light laugh, “I haven’t experienced what you have, so I won’t judge.”

“Daddy Ying, don’t worry,” Xiu Yu said seriously this time, “I don’t care, but if she bullies you, I will definitely go back.”

Ying Zijin yawned and raised an eyebrow slightly: “I didn’t realize my charm was so great.”

Xiu Yu: “…”

“That’s not what I meant,” she seemed baffled, “Who did you learn that from?”

Why did she suddenly become so flirtatious?

Just as Ying Zijin was about to answer, her phone rang.

She glanced at it and then got up to leave the classroom to answer the call.

The call was from Elder Zhong.

Ying Zijin leaned against the wall, her body relaxed, “Hello, Grandpa?”

“Zijin,” Elder Zhong’s voice was robust, “I was so happy to see you yesterday that I forgot about an important matter.”

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to the side, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”

“Old Man Fu, no no, your Grandpa Fu, I’ve noticed he’s been particularly sleepy lately and wondered if his health is deteriorating again,” Elder Zhong said, “Aren’t you somewhat skilled in traditional Chinese medicine? Could you take a look at him?”

“`

Ying Zijin’s medical skills were recognized by Old Master Zhong from the tea bags and sachets she had given him, among other things.

He didn’t know that Ying Zijin was the same renowned genius doctor from Shanghai City, the imperial capital, and several other major cities nearby.

Old Master Zhong wasn’t unaware of the goings-on within the Fu Family.

He knew that Fu Mingcheng and his other siblings were all waiting for Grandpa Fu to pass away.

“Hmm, okay,” Ying Zijin glanced at her schedule, “I’m free tonight. Please invite Grandpa Fu to the Zhong Family residence, and I’ll come over to take a look.”

“Ah, alright, alright,” Old Master Zhong agreed, “Grandpa told the servants to prepare your favorite dishes.”

After ending the call, Ying Zijin returned to her class.

Xiu Yu had already regained her vitality, and she whistled, “Daddy Ying, are you going to Tianma Racetrack tonight? I’ll take you racing, I’m really good at it.”

“I’m not free tonight,” Ying Zijin took out her phone, “I’ve already made plans with my grandpa.”

“Okay then,” Xiu Yu was straightforward, “another day is also fine.”

She leaned in and saw the girl open the ISC answer app and begin to solve problems.

One problem every ten seconds.

Xiu Yu hadn’t even finished reading the question when Ying Zijin had already turned the page to the next one.

Xiu Yu: “???”

What kind of problem-solving speed was that? Was she seeing things?

It wasn’t until she saw the rankings and the user ID name in the upper left corner of the screen.

Xiu Yu choked: “Holy shit!”

So the one who stirred up the entire global network as number one was their Daddy Ying?

Xiu Yu remembered that these days, there had even been a bunch of people online saying that the number one was not up to snuff, having been quiet for so many days.

She had originally thought the same thing.

Not anymore.

After all, their Daddy Ying was the kind who would do some problems when he remembered, and he spent more time sleeping.

After thinking for a bit, Xiu Yu took out a set of practice tests and started doing problems as well.

She joined ISC as a trend follower, to practice a little, but indeed the college entrance exams were more important.

“Sister Yu, what are you doing?” Her younger brother was curious and came over to take a look, then also exclaimed “Holy shit! Sister Yu, you’re actually starting to study, am I seeing things?”

It’s not that they hadn’t noticed, Jiang Ran and Xiu Yu, although both didn’t study, were in different situations.

Jiang Ran was disdainful of studying, but now she had begun to study.

Xiu Yu was very resistant to studying, not only to studying, but she was resistant to many things.

“None of your damn business,” Xiu Yu snapped back, “believe it or not, I’ll do better than you in the mid-term exam?”

“Ah, that,” the little brother scratched his head, weakly said, “I don’t want to believe it, but if I don’t believe Sister Yu, you’ll definitely hit me, so I guess I’ll believe it.”

“…”

**

Third year Elite Class.

It was self-study time now, and the students were all doing mock exam papers.

“Damn, this boss is here again!” The study committee member suddenly shouted excitedly, “He hasn’t made a move for over ten days, and now with one move, he’s instantly back in first place!”

“What what?” His classmates gathered around, seeing the latest rankings of the ISC selection competition.

No.1: Username hidden, Hua Country, 2486 points

No.2: Amanda, M country, 2378 points

Still a difference of more than a hundred points.

But they all knew that the current overall number one hadn’t answered questions for half a month.

Yesterday Amanda had been number one, but today it had changed hands again.

“I’m so curious about who this big shot is,” the study committee member was still excited, “I just clicked to see his answering duration, he answered for a total of four hours this time, that’s too scary.”

Four hours, stronger than others who took more than ten days.

“No idea.” Another boy said, “Not just on social media, the foreign internet is also trying to dig up who this person is, but so far no success.”

Nobody thought about those candidates who had direct admission to international competitions.

Because these candidates simply didn’t have the energy for that. Just attending training was very time-consuming; where would they find additional time to participate in a selection competition?

Moreover, having already secured spots for international competitions, what was the point in participating in a selection contest?

“I guess it must be some hidden master,” the study committee member said mysteriously, “who hasn’t shown much of himself, otherwise, with his results, he definitely would have secured a direct admission to the international competitions.”

“Xiao Xuan, it’s not you, is it?” Her deskmate suddenly said, “I accidentally saw your answer screen earlier, you’ve hidden your username.”

Ying Yuexuan’s hand paused on the screen, and she lifted her head.
